"Thank you Coach Ness! For other parents interested in helping their children improve, Coach Ness's training programs should be highly considered. In a short period of time, my son has improved his skills dramatically and continues to get better each week. His weekly workouts are fast-paced, and full of techniques that my son can apply in his games. My son's dribbling skills and footwork have improved and his shooting technique, while already very good, has taken a big step up with Coach Ness. The investment in Coach Ness's program has been well worth it! I wish I found him sooner."

"Ness and the entire “Ness Skills & Drills” crew are the epitome of what it means to be upper echelon. From the facilities used, to drills enforced, to communication, everything that Ness is involved with is top of the line. Ness curates a personal training environment, and includes drills pertinent to what each individual needs. His knowledge, love of the game, and infectious personality fills every room he steps into and transfers into those who have come to learn! There are not enough praises I am able to give Ness as I have been able to see him build from quite literally day 1 until now. I have personally referred countless athletes to Ness and will continue to refer countless more. Ness is one of the best in the business and treats everyone that he encounters as family. If there were a poster group for premier training within the DMV area, Ness Skills & Drills would be it! I highly recommend his services, you will not be disappointed!"
"My son has improved greatly working with Coach Ness. His overall confidence handling the ball and being able to finish on both sides evolved throughout the 12 weeks of his program. Ness sets high expectations for his players and genuinely wants them to succeed and achieve a higher level. Thanks Coach Ness for helping Liam become a better player & a more confident person."
"My son is relatively new to the world of club level basketball. Coach Ness was recommended to us by his coach as a way to complement his team training and focus on specific skills. Coach Ness’s program provides lots of opportunity for growth and provides great foundational work outside of weekly team practices. His knowledge sharing around club try-outs and clinics has also been invaluable as someone not familiar with offerings in the DMV."
"I am a parent and former collegiate athlete/All-American. I have 2 boys involved in the program (8 & 10 yrs old). This is the most effective program I have found! I continue to be incredibly impressed with Ness's program! Top rated professionalism and passion for the game! He and his team of coaches do a great job of breaking the game down through thoughtful delivery and focus on fundamentals. They work to increase awareness and confidence in the kids! Developing skills they can incorporate into their games. The kids are likewise acutely aware of and appreciate their improving skills. The journaling at the end of each session provides an opportunity for each player to reflect upon the session by identifying one skill they did well and one that they feel needs improvement. We are big fans of Ness Skills & Drills! We entirely endorse his program!"
"My son has been challenged by attending Coach Ness’ skills/training sessions which has ultimately helped his fundamentals and overall development in just a couple of months. I appreciate that the groups are not too big and are further split to really observe and work with the kids more closely. Ness takes the time out to give the extra attention and instruction when needed. Very good experience so far!"
"Coach Ness and his program are wonderful! He has been working with my son (age 12) weekly for several months now. I am so very pleased with all of the progress my son has made with Coach Ness - his shooting/dribbling/ballhandling/etc. skills have all improved immensely, and as a result his game play and contributions to his AAU teams have exploded! Coach Ness is a very talented and effective coach and is also a fantastic person in every way - he is highly professional, friendly, caring and flexible. My son loves his program and so do I!!"

"Coach Ness is an excellent coach who does a great job coaching our son. We like how he focuses on developing a strong foundation with fundamentals skills on which to build upon. Our son loves getting trained by him. Just after a few months with Coach Ness, our 13-year-old plays much better, especially at dribbling and handling the ball. Coach Ness has an excellent knowledge of basketball and he knows how to motivate the kids and what techniques to teach so they can use them in their play. We are very happy to have Ness as our son’s Coach!!
"Coach Ness is amazing! He is dedicated in helping his students. My son loves his basketball class and has improved significantly since he has started with coach Ness. He did a few other classes before but I never saw the improvement like how I’ve seen here with Coach Ness."

"Ness trained my boys and vastly improved their ball handling (and confidence in ball handling), shooting form, jump shots, and ability to get up shots off the dribble. Ness’s lessons extend off the court and lesson time as he pushes his trainees to critically think about how their training translates to game situations. I can honestly say his training contributed heavily to our boys making their respective HS teams. I would highly recommend Ness for group, small group or individual training."
"Coach Ness has helped my son regain confidence after coming back from an injury. The training sessions are great and the basketball journal with assigned work between sessions accelerates the improvement of the player. Ness is excellent at teaching basketball to many ages, varied skill levels and he adjusts to each player. Equally valuable is his overall approach, which also fosters accountability and self awareness. My son always looks forward to his sessions with Coach Ness!"
"My son, Alex, was an avid basketball player in 2nd and 3rd grade, but got complacent in 4th grade mostly due to Covid. Since joining Coach Ness, I’ve noticed a significant change. He is no longer settling for jump shots, but driving to the basket and creating his own shots when necessary. He helped his M.A.D.E. 5th team win three straight tournaments this winter! I highly recommend Ness Skills and Drills."
"Anesu trains to get players better in the role that they are in now, but also prepares them for the role they want in the future. He focuses on the parts of one’s game and body that not every basketball trainer targets."
"Anesu proved to be responsive, flexible, and organized (for my group of 4th grade players). The boys quickly connected with him. Most importantly, his coaching style made the weekend clinics fun for the boys while teaching them fundamental basketball skills."
"Coach Ness believes in kids setting their own goals, and keeping them accountable toward meeting them. My son and his teammate both did Ness training, which helped them get better with foundational elements of ball handling. He focuses on getting the basics right so they can level up when it comes to games --- and they both did."
"My son Joshua, has enjoyed working out with Coach Ness. I really appreciate the attention to detail that is stressed at the camp. They also stress the importance of academics with your training. I think that Coach Ness being a college graduate makes that point easy to get the kids to understand. This is a great camp and your child will not only be a better player but a better person as well."
"Great program! My 12 yr old son loves it and has improved so much since he started. Coach Ness is top notch. Wish we had started his program sooner. Highly recommend!"
"My son has enjoyed Ness skills and drills throughly. I am so happy to have found something in my local area that is just right for my son. Not only has my son gotten better with his inner and outer perimeter shots, his ball handlings, his form, his speed, and his strength but he has made a connection with Coach Ness. Coach Ness is respectful, supportive, and enthusiastic to all his players. If you are looking for a place where your child can grow and learn Ness skills and drills is the place. Thanks Coach Ness!"

"Ness Skills & Drills was one of the best programs I’ve come across!! The attention and personal time they spend to help develop the young athletes is amazing. My brother won’t stop talking about his new shot and how excited he is about trying out for his school team next year. He was showing me how his shooting form and dribbling skills have improved which helped his confidence go up and be happy with his ability to play the game he loves. I really do appreciate this program all that they do!! He couldn't have done it with out the amazing people that help young kids make their dream come to life while teaching them a very valuable life lesson, hard work pays off! He loves the whole program and I love watching his confidence grow in the game and life as well!! Peace & blessings!! Jesus loves you guys!! Keep doing the amazing work!!"

"Working with Coach Ness has been a positive experience for my kid. I have seen his confidence increase with each practice. The player he was before he started working with Coach Ness is much different than the player he is now and is growing to be. Coach Ness groups kids by skill level and is patient working with each group. This instills confidence in the kids and gives them an ample amount of reps during the drills. This time and attention given to my kid has made a considerable difference. Coach Ness is highly recommended!"

Although we just started a little over a month ago, I see how much my son has improved. On his first day he was so scared to join in, but now he can’t wait to show up for training.

"Coach Ness is amazing! Not only is he an incredible basketball trainer, he will develop individualized programs focused on helping the player grow. Also makes sure the kids are putting in the work outside of training sessions. Went to my son’s game and provided an evaluation which he incorporated into training. I wish we had found him sooner!

Anesu is a great communicator and terrific motivator as he makes the training fun but at the same time he holds the trainees accountable for the fundamentals they are learning and trying to master. He also does drills that are challenging and extremely worthwhile for the development of skilled basketball players. I'm glad to have found him and he is very personable and truly cares about his trainees ands their subsequent development. I highly recommend him to all parents looking to advance their child in the game of basketball and life."

My son started with the clinic after his first season on a basketball team and on his first practice back with the team after three months of the clinic, his coach contacted me to say how clear it was that he has been working on his ball-handling, rebounding and movement during the "off season." His focus and hustle has also improved. Thanks Coach!"
